Water problems

Question
My guinea pig Pipsqueak just had to have 8 kidney stones removed. The vet said
to make sure she drinks lots of water, but she doesn't seem to be drinking very
much at all. Is there anything I can do to get her to drink more?

Answer
Hello Max,
You will probably have to put water in her mouth through a dropper or you can also give her a little gatorade. My best suggestion is to call Oxbow Hay company and purchase Oxbow Critical Care. http://www.oxbowhay.com/link.sp?page=CriticalCare
It's really good to rovide nutrients to guinea pigs after surgeries and when they are not feeling good.
